7:02 am
and then a story, if you are keeping your photos and personal documents on your personal computer, you're going to want to see this, how computer criminals are getting in, locking your computer and demanding ran some. >> basically holding your personal stuff hostage. would you pay? we'll ask the question in just a few moments. first, to today's top story. rare dual tornados slammed into a small town of pilger this morning. >> this is what three-quarters of this little town looks like. the city hall, the fire house, the school, all the businesses levelled. 16 people critically injured in these twin tornados yesterday. at least two people were killed, one of them a 5-year-old girl. rare twin twisters caught on
7:03 am
camera. >> oh, dear god. >> reporter: storm chasers ch captured the moment. in that moment, this town, a self-described rural community of 378 people became a disaster area. >> huge. there was two of them. one back over here and one was coming right at us. >> reporter: the tornado went right down main street. >> the northeast part of town are all severely damaged beyond repair. >> reporter: a striking example, before and after photos of the town's middle school, the windows blown out by the twister, part of the second floor ripped away. one woman hid in the basement of her farmhouse with three family members. >> you're just kind of in a state of shock because it's -- you can't believe that it can be gone so fast.
7:04 am
>> reporter: some storm chasers got dangerously close as a tornado crossed the road right in front of them revealing another twister. emergency response crews will be on the scene here in pilger today and so will the national guard, helping these people stunned by sudden loss. recovery well underway as residents are being allowed in to see what remains of their homes. many of them that are still standing will have to be torn down because they're not sound. hoping to live up the slow ga, the little town too tough to die. >> dangerous storm still hammering parts of the midwest. >> you can see that one storm chaser obviously stops to shoot it, but then a second car keeps going. >> right toward --
7:05 am
>> anyway, we still have a lot going on right now. in fact, we've got tornado watches in efor a good portion of northern illinois on into wisconsin. that includes chicago and milwaukee. 9:00 a.m., we have more thunderstorms, then thinged kind of calmed down. temperatures will be in the 90s. we also have a wide swath of severe weather. this first half, we could see tornados out of these. and then as this whole swath moves to the east, this is more about damaging winds from green bay, chicago, cleveland, new york also in this. and then we look for it to continue on into tomorrow. look at the risk of storms from bismarck across to chicago. and a lot of rain out of this. we're talking some areas picking up 3 to 5 inches of rain.
7:06 am
as we move east from omaha on into minneapolis, we could see 1 to 2 more inches of rain, guys. so this is going to be a long-lasting event. and we have a heat wave to talk about. in the meantime, there's more violence raging in iraq. president obama is deploying more u.s. forces to that country. their mission, to provide support and security for u.s. work skpeers and the u.s. embas baghdad. richard, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt, baghdad is very tense. there are check points all across baghdad. the giant u.s. embassy is right in the center. the u.s. military is deploying 170 extra soldiers and marine. also deploying an extra 100 troops to the region to set up emergency airfields and manage them should an emergency evacuation be necessary.
7:07 am
the fighters from the al qaeda offshoot isis stop trucks on the highway. they independently confirmed video, but it shows the terrifying religious violence tearing this region apart. they claim they are sunni, just like the gunman. the militant asked how sunni's pray. it's a test. the answers are apparently unsatisfactory, the three are executed. there are still many americans in iraq. the embassy in baghdad is the biggest anywhere and also the most expensive. it normally employs up to 15,000 staff and contractors, but many have been flown out to safer locations. the u.s.-backed iraqi government is trying to keep the militants
7:08 am
away from baghdad, pushing ahead with a counter-offensive, with air strikes. and their army is being reinforced with new troops. >> there will be lots of explosions, he said, to terrify the people so that they lose confidence in the government. >> reporter: even baghdad, long and painfully accustomed to terrorist attacks is afraid. >> you say it's afraid. is there any other sense of normalcy in baghdad or is it somewhat of a bunker mentality anticipating the assault? >> reporter: it does feel like a ghost town. people here don't think there's going to be a frontal assault. instead, they think there's going to be a lot of car bombs,s a sas nations. going back to the worse of the
7:09 am
civil war in 2006-2007. that's why a lot of iraqis are going out of the country if they can. they're going down to the deep south trying to get out of the capitol. >> when you hear the number, 175 to secure the embassy, another hundred, it doesn't sound like a big number. i guess you can look at it two ways. is the administration confident that this isn't going to get so bad in baghdad, or have they simply thrown up their hands and admitted there's very lgs they can do? >> reporter: i think it's a little bit of both of that. i don't think the 175 here and the extra hundred are the kind of force who could coordinate any offensive operation. this is strictly to manage an evacuation should that be necessary. people here don't think, and it seems to be reflected in the embassy's action, that we're
7:10 am
going to see an assault on the cap top by isis. that looked possible afy days ago, when the iraqi army was deserting. now, less likely. the iraqi army has finally mobilized and is keeping the militants otherwise the city. >> but it's obviously still a developing story. richard angle in baghdad for us on the story. we'll shift gears a little bit talk about that historic and thrilling start for the united states in the world cup. defeating ghana on a late winner with an unlikely hero. >> reporter: good morning. well, what a roller coaster ride that was. american hearts have been broken by ghana at the last two world cups and they were pounding again last night until that very late, very dramatic american victory.
7:11 am
the u.s. team had scarcely finished singing the national anthem, when the fastest goal of the world cup was scored. flags and hopes were raised. >> you couldn't wish for a better start. >> start strong, finish hard. >> yeah. >> usa, usa. >> reporter: but then came a tense 81 minutes before ghana struck back. >> to break american hearts. >> reporter: disbelief as victory snatched away by only for four minutes. substiet john brooks scoring his first international goal. heartbreak hotel was left behind. >> let's just hold on now, boys. >> reporter: and then it was over. a dream start to the game. and sweetest of all, revenge
7:12 am
against a team that has twice ended american dreams. >> usa, usa. >> reporter: it was a game and a victory savored throughout american. celebrated across the nation and in brazil. >> oh, my god. that was so close. >> reporter: the american party lasted long into rio's night. so the next stop for team usa is in the amazon jungle in a game on sunday against portugal. a couple injuries to worry about. as for clint dempsey, he took this blow to the nose. ouch. he's bloodied, but he will probably be back. yes, indeed, ouch. what a great start last night, guys. >> all right. thank you so much. more action from the group
7:13 am
of death. >> i know. >> we survive. >> i know. >> natalie is here with headlines including new problems for gm. >> oh, yes, general motors buttons again recalling more than 3 million additional cars. it's all related once again to the ignition switch problem that gm first identified back in february. tom, good morning. >> same problem, kimpbt cars. gm saying it will rework or replace the keys to 3 million cars in the u.s. to keep them from shutting down. it's the same problem that gm admits caused at least 54 crashes and 13 deaths in smaller cars and led to the recall of 2.6 million vehicles in february. now the new recall involves another 3.1 million cars in the u.s., most of them older models. gm says it needs to urgently
7:14 am
rework the keys. they come with a key that has a big hole or a slot. if that is carrying too many extra keys, it can bump the ignition switch to the off position. >> losing power streeering, eve the cinching up of the belt, that is serious. it can result in more injury if a cash occurs. >> reporter: this latest recall comes just two weeks after gmceo sawed the results of an internal outside investigation had found a pattern of incompetence and neglect at gm. >> we failed these customers and we must face up to it and we must learn from it. >> gm acknowledges it failed to order a recall for ten years while customers died in cars that it nigh had a problem. the company says that the
7:15 am
culture has changed and it will take a very aggressive approach to all safety issues. so far this year, the company has recalled 20 million vehicles worldwide, that's about the same number of cars it has built in the u.s. since 2006. back to you. >> all right. thanks so much. the heads of two of the world's major churches are teaming up to fight human trafficking and modern slavery. pope francis committed their churches to working together. they held talks at the vatican on monday on how their followers could combat a crime against humanity. >> baseball fans are remembering hall of famer tony gwynn this morning. he is known as one of the best hitters in baseball history. he was elected into the hall of fame in 2007. he was just 54 years old. some good news now to report

7:34 am
it hasn't yet been rolled out, but it's getting mixed reviews. and just one of the groups they're targeting is middle class women who they say are getting mixed messages about how much alcohol during pregnancy is okay. now, in addition to the test, they'll use posters, surveys, and offer prizes to narrow down where and what method works best. savannah? >> it's an interesting approach. thank you so much. let's get a check of the weather now from al. >> "today's" weather is brought to you by the new windows. one experience for everything in your life. >> the window for fire danger continues to expand out west. we do have an area stretching from california, wyoming, on into new mexico for an elevated fire danger. within that we have a critical fire danger in flagstaff, cedar city, junction city as well. and we've got a really extreme area for low relative humidity, sustained winds, and severe

months no state has experienced more significant earthquakes than oklahoma? al, this is not an area we think of earthquakes in. >> absolutely not. all that shaking is raising fear amongst some oklahomans prompting warnings that a major earthquake could be imminent. now new scientific evidence is showing this is not necessarily a natural occurrence. >> it's a half mile wide. >> reporter: in a state where people are used to watching the skies for danger -- >> oh, god. >> reporter: -- residents in oklahoma are starting to realize what's happening underground. in the past few months, earthquakes have become an almost daily occurrence. this man owns a wine store in oklahoma. the oklahoma native admits to being a little rattled. >> there's no way to predict
7:44 am
when one's going to occur. that's what's so alarming about them for most people. >> reporter: from 1975 to 2009, oklahoma averaged one earthquake with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater per year. from 2010 to 2013, that annual average jumped to 40. this year, already 200 earthquakes in the first five and a half months alone. the big question is why. some recent studies are pointing the finger of blame at the engine that drives oklahoma's state economy. the oil and gas industry. oil companies have been drilling in oklahoma for more than a century, but some scientists believe recent changes in how that drilling is done could explain what's behind this seismic shift. for the past century oil and natural gas were extracted by drilling vertically into easy-to-reach reservoirs. but those have dried up. so energy companies have turned to fracking. drilling horizontally and using
7:45 am
water to fracture the rock in order to extract the oil and natural gas. all those millions of gallons of waste water are then injected back underground. besides injection wells causing it, what would be another reason for the increase? >> well, that's a really good question. the increase is just incredibly dramatic, so there has to be some of these cases that are likely caused by fluid injection. it's just common sense. >> reporter: in a recent study, geologists traced the largest earthquake in oklahoma history back to an injection well where they believe the underground pressure created a fore shock which then created the earthquake. independent oil producers are working with oklahoma state regulators to provide more data, but the companies want more scientific proof before they make any drastic and costly changes to their business model. it sounds like you're not closed off to the possibility that waste water injection sites could cause an earthquake.
7:46 am

8:18 am
happy but why? you're fat. but the 19-year-old quickly silenced that critical voice in her head. she writes, when you look at this photo, you might see the sorrow of imperfection. or you might see a jubilant woman blessed with friendship and conversation. now she's sending a message to herself and others about self-acceptance. i decided i would fight my demon and embody it because it's okay to look at a photo and say yes, i like this picture of my cellulite. and victoria erickson is with us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> i love this blog. it captures the thought process. people of all ages have sometimes when they look at a picture. they like it at first and then they zero in on their flaws. why did you want to write it? >> well, i think exactly what you said. it's a thought process. i initially loved it, thought it was a great picture. very fun. captured a great moment in time. but then i really let my mind get away with myself.
8:19 am
i zoned in on myself, my imperfections, my flaws, the things i didn't like. and then i just realized that was irrational, you know, i was going too far with it. i kind of took a step back and re-looked at the image and then i decided to see it for what i initially did. friendship and fun and just having a good time. >> well, you're about to be a sophomore at the university of iowa. you're studying journalism. so you decided to write about your experience. but did you expect the reaction you got? >> absolutely not. this has gone way above and beyond my wildest expectations for this piece. >> why do you think it resonates with people? >> i think it resonates just because it's not what you're going to see on the front page of a magazine. i think we're so used to seeing photoshops and picture perfects that when we change the conversation, it raises some eyebrows. >> when i looked at this picture, i didn't see cellulite. i honestly didn't. i thought what is she really talking about? and i think thatst a good
8:20 am
insight. because other people don't look at us as harshly as we sometimes look at ourselves. >> exactly. i'm my own worst critic. i think that's the same for a lot of other people also. >> do you think you'd like to see people take this lesson from you? and you've been pretty honest about it. this is something you're still struggling with. it's not like you don't see any flaws anymore. changed into this zen person who's got it all together. >> exactly. it's a journey. tough take it in stride. i don't see a picture of myself and say wow, this is great. it's day by day. but i think with the right mentality it gets so much easier. >> one of the things you said, apparently this was a professional photographer who happened to snap this on the street. and i know you said in the piece you were mad at first. i said why didn't you photoshop that. >> exactly. that's too bad. that's what inspired me to write the piece. that was my first reaction, i'm so used to things being photoshopped and air brushed, i thought it would be so easy to fix that.

8:23 am
>> hope is a nice word but we need action. >> reporter: -- they raised $1 million. >> this is more funds than we would normally expect to get from a large institutional grant. >> and when the money started coming in, $10, $20. and the comments, it energizes us with more and more hope. we still have a long way to go. >> reporter: the final challenge is raising the remaining $1 million by october. >> our job as parents and voice for our children is to do absolutely everything we can to give them a happy, healthy life. we were not going to stop at anything until we have done everything in our power. >> any parent that is fortunate enough to have a child grow up healthy, it's probably the greatest gift they can have. and what we do is we fight to have a chance at that gift. >> these parents are desperate
8:24 am
to try anything they can to save their daughter's life. still they don't know whether this treatment will work. >> no, the treatment so far has been in mice. it's gene therapy which will hopefully fix the genetic problem. but it goes to the underserved population of people with these orphan diseases where they can't get enough traction in traditional medicine to get the funding, the tests. and sometimes the government funding to look at new cures. >> do you think this idea of going online to raise that kind of money is going to take hold? is this something we're going to see more of in the future? >> i think you'll see bits and pieces. i don't think it's the wave of the future. what we really need to do is re-fund the national cancer institute and major grant-making bodies in this country which we've really turned our back on investigative drugs in this country to the point it's a fraction of what we spend on other things in this country. we need to realign how we spend our government funding. hurdles here still have to get money, still have to see if the
8:25 am

8:35 am
how old were you when this happened? >> one year old. >> i love the movie and i always thought the little baby elizabeth was the cutest baby ever in any movie, so it's very nice to meet you. >> thank you so much. >> what was it like growing up with this? i assume you don't remember anything from the shooting, so when did you actually become aware we were in a big movie in the '80s? >> i think in elementary school when our teachers kind of knew that we were in it and our friends when we started to get a little bit older. >> it was more like their parents kind of telling them you're going to the "baby boom" house, that kind of thing. our friends never really saw the movie when we were in elementary school. but usually the parents. >> jim and diane, it must be fun for you to have this time capsule of them at this moment in life? how did you get your girls in this big hollywood movie? >> well, my sister laura called me and said there's going to be an open decision. so we went into the city and it was an open call. we went in and we were the first ones brought into the office.
8:36 am
>> there's a story about that, right? how did you become the first to audition? >> well, it was a sunday. there must have been 60 or 70 sets of twins and triplets. and there was a makeshift toy area where one of the casting agents who was playing with christina and the ball rolled right to the adjacent room where the producers and directors were. and sure enough, they said show them in. and they were the first to be auditioned. >> first to be auditioned. then chosen. this was not a short shoot. >> five months. >> yeah. five months. and i hear you had to give the producers a little baby 101 lesson. >> yes. in the beginning they thought they could just have a baby happy on demand. and, you know, they found out really quickly that they had to work around their schedule. and they were very good about that. so, you know, it all worked out. within three weeks it was smooth sailing. it was very good. >> michelle and christina, you're both teachers just like your parents. acting bug did not bite you.
8:37 am
but i heard you did run into diane keaton years later. what happened? >> my dad actually heard she was doing a book signing in southampton. and we live out in the hamptons -- >> we were in college. >> we were in college, yeah. we didn't tell her we were coming. we had a picture of us with her and we put it down in front of her to sign it and she said we were just thinking about these girls the other day. so then she looked to sign it and she looks at us and she looks at the picture and she was like no. we were just smiling, you know. she kind of put it together. and so when she realized, she got up and gave us a big hug. it was exciting. >> it's just a great memory. the little time capsule of this moment in your life is great. thanks for being here. tomorrow we'll catch up with nathan junior from "raising arizona." meantime, next up we look at the world's steepest roller coaster.

they call it goliath for a reason. a giant beast lurking, looming, scaring the holy heck out of people. what do you think is about to happen to you? >> probably get the shock of my life. >> reporter: thrill seekers like yours truly took the plunge. literally. do you derive satisfaction from making people scream? >> i think so. i think that's part of our job to make people scream. the more they scream -- >> reporter: the better you're doing your job. goliath is a record-breaking ride. it drops 180 feet at an angle of 85 degrees and travels at speeds of up to 72 miles an hour. but none of that means anything when you're hanging on for dear life.

from nbc news, this is "today's" take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today" on this tuesday morning, june 17th, 2014. i'm natalie morales with tamron hall. al h to leave early. willie already is headed to orlando where we'll be tomorrow broadcasting live giving you a sneak peek at the latest attraction. >> girl power all the way. >> salute to all the ladies we just heard outside. >> they were cute. i liked them. we'll also be joined by some stars of the film series. tune in. we'll have fun out there in orlando. we may ride a roller coaster or
9:01 am
two. >> we may. >> i don't think i've been on a roller coaster since the '70s. >> i was just there this weekend. universal has the best rides, the best roller coasters. >> i did the spider-man early 2000. we'll see what happens. good stuff. >> much more like that. we all are celebrating big victory for the united states stunning 2-1 win over ghana. now, it was just crazy. i was at a bar last night with the kids. everybody was there. >> the kids were at the bar? >> it was like a restaurant bar. but we have this whole thing staked out for team usa, of course. within 29 seconds. i could not believe it. clint duempsey scores the first goal. it was the fifth faster world cup goal. i think the fastest world cup goal for americans. that was an incredible start. then it got scary because ghana tied it up 1-1 for awhile.
9:02 am
then at 85 minutes into the game, a substitute john brooks comes in, rookie. he scores his first international goal. put the u.s. on top to win it 2-1. the look on his face said it all. i was tweeting out last night saying this is such sweet revenge because ghana has twice beaten the u.s. 2010 and 2006. the score was always 2-1. we reversed the table on them this time around. my tone of hoboken, it went nuts. >> i was at an event with a lot of yankees players. wonderful charter school in the city. the whole place stopped to watch the game. there was a woman -- i won't name her -- at my table with an iphone playing theoccer game. >> now you can live stream the game anywhere. we're showing some of the viewing parties all over the world. pennsylvania there. in afghanistan we showed you some. big party in brooklyn.
9:03 am
and of course copacabana beach in rio was fuego. great parties all across the country, around the world people celebrating. but now it gets harder. we're hoping, fingers crossed, there's partying again on sunday when we play portugal. i think they have a good shot. i mean, i think the u.s. team is looking strong. clint dempsey has a bit of a broken nose. did you see the high kick from the player? and they're down a player, jose altidore, also, the striker was injured with a pulled hamstring. we'll see. i think we have a good shot. >> they lost right? >> portugal lost against germany yesterday. so i think we looked strong. >> they can either come back with a vengeance or limp in. >> we are going to come back and we're going to fight back. i say we're the underdog but with a bite. watch that bite. >> all right. sunday, tweet with us.
9:04 am
we'll see what happens. another story we're following, this is interesting. when is it appropriate, if ever, to swear? so the mayor of l.a. in a bit of hot water. they were honoring the stanley cup champion l.a. kings when the mayor used choice words when he was toasting the team. here he is in his own words. take a listen. >> there are two rules in politics. they say never be pictured with a drink in your hand and never swear. but this is a big [ muted ] day. way to go, guys. >> he went on to say kids should not use these language, but these are hockey fans meaning i guess the toughest of the tough and they can take the language. it's not lawn bowling that we're talking about. it's hockey. we asked do you think swearing is okay in a celebratory situation? >> it's a live event. it's being broadcast as well. and he knew he was going to say it. he planned it, the beer bottle and all. in front of all those kids. i mean, i think if i'm a parent
9:05 am
and i hear that, i don't want my kids to think that the mayor of our town or our city can say those words and that it's appropriate in any situation. >> it's the word. i think you can say, you know, the "d" word. there's softer swear words that would not have given us pause. but he dropped one of the epic ones. he dropped one of the ones that stop your heart. not that i haven't used it in traffic a couple times, but it's pretty. >> since they planned it, they should have had a beeping button on the podium. he could have beeped himself out there. >> we were talking about everyone uses emoticons or emojis on their smart phone. in july they're coming out with 250 new emojis. >> because we need more. >> one is the universal symbol for hello in new york. kind of along the lines there. let us know what you think.
9:06 am
do the #orangeroom. here's another controversial story for you. a north carolina mom is protesting her daughter's school dress code by wearing the very same outfit that her daughter wore that the school ended up sending her home for wearing. this is the last day of school. she wore -- the daughter wore this outfit right here. and she was sent home. she was told it was inappropriate. it was too short. the mom decided to wear it at her daughter's graduation ceremony. and the daughter, by the way, is violet burkhart. violet said teachers told her it was a half inch too short. she was sent home to change. the school spokeswoman told us they don't discuss specific student records but forwarded a copy of the dress code. skirts and dresses that are shorter than mid-thigh are considered inappropriate. violet says she did change into jeans and returned back to school, but she was told that she would face a detention. so she ended up leaving campus.
9:07 am
the question is, if you're the mom and doing that, is that like silent protest for your daughter? >> not so silent. you're making a big statement. we were also talking about whether the dress is too short. i know they have rules in place. but i think that a lot of these schools obsess over girls' attire a lot more than boys from what you wear to the prom. i thought the length was fine. >> it seems to me looking at it -- >> the fashion police say this is too short. they ask why don't we wear short sleeves all the time. i thought if anything they might say something about the top. but that's not the issue. it's the length. and it's like a normal length skirt. maybe i'm too -- >> no. looking at it, it seems fine. what do they do take a ruler and measure and say it's two inches above the knee? >> the finger thing. they put it above your knee. >> somebody's going around with
9:08 am
two fingers which is another issue altogether. so many other things to worry about. these kids need to learn. i don't know. it seems like a lot of, you know, a lot of attention. >> i think it's a lot of obsession over what girls wear. >> although i do agree in a learning environment. should dress appropriately. and i don't think you want to be a distraction to your other classmates. >> but it's not 1950. not that there's anything wrong with this. the modern style of dress. you go to forever 21, we try to strike a balance with allowing mya to have fashion independence. but we had an epic swim suit battle with mya who's 14, but she is -- she's small but curvaceous. and she's a developing young girl. she wanted to get a swim suit at victoria's secret. i said that's just not going to happen. and we went over pictures, i kept e-mailing and sending her pictures of tankinis. she'd say i don't want that. i'm not her mom but i'm like her
9:09 am
mother. we got on the phone her mother and myself and we conspired getting her a swim suit she likes. but it's tough when you're a teenager and balancing. >> the shorts are getting shorter and the shirts are getting much more revealing. >> absolutely. >> it's hard as a parent to watch that. as a parent of young boys too. i know that's going to be a hard thing when they get hormonal. i don't want to go through that. >> i've never been so stressed in my life when buying a swim suit with 14-year-old young mya. i can only sympathize. >> i'm glad i have boys. makes it a little easier. here's a great story. nicole kidman and keith urban are singing a duet at a children's hospital in melbou e melbourne, australia. take a look at this. ♪
9:10 am
>> that's the hospital there. they posted the video on youtube. and nicole, beautiful voice there. we know keith, of course, incredible. what struck me is they seem to know the words to the second verse of "amazing grace." it was the second verse of "amazing grace." beautiful song. >> that was sweet of them. >> sweet duet and i'm sure they do a lot for the hospital as well. let's get a check of the weather. dylan dreyer stepping in for al this morning. >> good morning, everyone. very humid day out ahead of this cold front here. we had some nasty storms move through chicago earlier, but we are already starting to see some improvements. chance of a brief shower. you will see the day get better. it is going to be hot. 91 degrees in chicago today. look at this area in red.

10:11 am
it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how. the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients.
10:12 am
symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time. lower your blood sugar with invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. ask your doctor about invokana®. imagine loving your numbers. the mustard seed that makes french's yellow mustard. 100% natural from me to you. with 40% more free, there's more to love. french's. naturally amazing.

10:31 am
>> like a corn starch. it can thicken things. it can be mostly on vegetables and not on fruits. something people add to it to make it tastier. >> some margarine? >> no. it's something that is something you pour. >> you pour it on. >> i don't know. >> hollandaise sauce. >> if you want a sandwich but you're on a diet, you use this kind of a product to make the illusion of a big sandwich. i think i'll have to tell you. it is bread and some gluten-free products, sometimes in regular pasta and salad dressings. that was the clue. >> you don't put salad dressings on vegetables. >> i was thinking of broccoli sitting there -- 9 >> that was confusing. >> tell us, though, is it okay for you? >> these are perfectly safe. sometimes you look at these things and say i can't pronounce them, but they are fda-approved. these are tested and they're food quality things. sometimes if you see ingredients like this in cosmetics or toothpaste, these are very different.
10:32 am
next, carrageenan. it comes from -- >> bless you. >> this is something again that counts as a thickener, especially in lower-fat dairy. to give it sort of thickness. what product do you think it's in? >> multiple choice? >> it could be low-fat cheese. something that is frozen that you eat in the summertime. >> yogurt. >> frozen yogurt. or fat-free ice cream. it can be in soups, gummy roll-ups, anything to give a little bit of thickness. it's a white powder. >> it's not bad for you. >> it's not bad for you. next we come to something called soy lecithin. it's an emulsifier. it blends things. it's a little bit of oil and a little bit of water. if you plop this in -- >> it's stubborn. >> stir this and you'll see. this is oil and water that don't usually mix. and if you give it a twirl, it will start to mix.
10:33 am
it will actually keep the things together, so if you find it in one tasty treat, if you have a sweet tooth, you like to eat this a lot. >> cake. >> that's right. a cake mix. and what else? >> brownie mix? >> you're getting close. it is chocolate. and so you look at this, it's sometimes in margarines. >> taking the fun out of food, i've got to tell you. >> now, you've heard of agar-agar, a gelatin. it's something when you mix it, you heat it up and it's solid. it's in a lot of different food products. one is something you put on hot chocolate to doll it up a little bit. >> marshmallows. >> that's right. and a candy that a lot of little kids like, it's chewy, it's not a jelly bean. >> twizzlers? >> no, close, a gummy bear. next something that sounds odd, but is not. it's fine for you. next, something that sounds odd but is not. silicon dioxide. that's basically -- >> that can change your appearance. >> not the kind on the beach.
10:34 am
this is food grade and it absorbs moisture. think of some -- >> she said moisture. >> i thought that was off-limits. but go on. >> dry things in foods that you don't want to clump up. so something that you can sprinkle on an apple to make it taste better. >> cinnamon. >> you are right. so we take a look at this. all kinds of powdered things. this looks like a little gross. it's powdered soup mix or powdered creamers, something like that. >> again, not bad for you. >> not bad for you. all of these are fine for you. the good news it's on every ingredient label and you can choose not to have them because lots of products will take them out. >> why would you not want them? >> if people don't want to have any added preservatives -- but these are all packaged foods. on to cellulose. it's a bulking agent. so think about something that this could be in. if you want something that prevents things from clumping together also in a product. what do you put on pizza? >> cheese. >> there you go. that's an easy one. so shredded cheese, reduced fat chocolate milk.
10:35 am
